ReliTime and Clockify: where each one fits

Clockify is a widely used, general-purpose time tracker with a generous free plan. ReliTime is narrower: it is built for consultancies that bill clients by project and phase and invoice under Indian GST. This page sets the two side by side, including where Clockify is the better choice.

When Clockify is the better choice

  • You want time captured from desktop apps, browser extensions or a shared kiosk.
  • You rely on integrations with other tools more than on invoicing from the tracker.
  • You want a free plan for a large team.
  • You want screenshots or location tracking, which ReliTime will not offer.
  • You do not bill clients for time, or do not need GST tax invoices.

When ReliTime is the better choice

  • You bill clients by project and phase, at rates that change over time.
  • You need approvals, locked weeks and an audit trail without paying for a higher tier.
  • You invoice under Indian GST, including exports to overseas clients.
  • You want work in progress and margin from the same hours you invoice.
  • You want nobody monitored.

Questions people ask

Is ReliTime a Clockify alternative?

For a consultancy that bills clients by project and phase and invoices under Indian GST, yes. For a team that mainly wants to capture time across many apps, Clockify is likely the better fit.

Can I move from Clockify to ReliTime?

Yes, with help. A job’s phases and tasks can be imported from a spreadsheet today, and we help set up clients, jobs and rates from a Clockify export during onboarding.

Does ReliTime have a desktop or mobile app?

No. It runs in a desktop or phone browser, and the weekly timesheet is laid out for a phone. If you need native apps or browser extensions, Clockify has them.

See it on your own kind of work

We set ReliTime up with a walkthrough rather than a sign-up form. We will take you through a working organisation, from a week of timesheets through approvals and work in progress to a GST invoice, answer your questions as we go, and set up yours.

ReliTime is free for up to 5 people. Each person beyond the first 5 costs ₹199 a month, plus 18% GST.
